General / Re: g++ Compiling error with terminal - First time linux user

I'm a begginer as well, and I'd just want to point out that the instructions given in the 2.0 tutorial had lead me to install SFML 1.6, and thus, I was getting the same error as guizadin. I'd suggest someone to fix that, as will for sure lead many more newbies to confusion.

As you can see, in this tutorial http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/start-linux.php (in the 2.0 section) it clearly states:

Option 1 is the preferred one; if the version of SFML that you want to install is available in the official repositories then get it with your package manager. For example, on Debian you would do:

sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev

And this package seems to contain the sfml 1.6 header files, at least on ubuntu's repositories.

I guess i'll have to build from source in order to have this running :S
